(Checking a flat tyre before the start of the journey...)

Route: Udon Thani – Nong Khai border - Vientiane

Hotel: City Inn, Vientiane

(Riding on Friendship Bridge between Thailand and Laos...)

(A welcoming smile...)

(Briani lunch @ Noor Restaurant...)

Checked out at 0600 sharp. From here on a 4x4 vehicle will join us to Cambodia. The bikers were supposed to ride to the border early but were a little delayed to look for Shawal’s misplaced bike key. We managed to reach the border early and beat the morning traffic and busloads of tourists. The border clearing was smooth with little hassle. We went for an early lunch at one Indian Muslim Briyani Restaurant along the Mekong River. We checked in City Inn Vientiane Hotel and had ample time to rest until 1700.

(A prominent landmark, Pha That Luang)

Late afternoon we went for a walk along Mekong River and watched the beautiful sunset. We bought some souvenirs at the night market and had Nan and Tandoori chicken for dinner.
